DORTHEA REDMOND "The Royal Suite" Salon 1964

I had a request on our DHI Facebook Page for a high resolution image of Dorthea Redmond's 1964 WED Concept art for the Royal Suite Salon in New Orleans Square. She had a wonderful sense of style and elegance, which is obviously why Walt brought her in to work on this project.

TRIP THROUGH DISNEYLAND TICKET BOOK MYSTERY

A TRIP THROUGH DISNEYLAND TICKET BOOK

I had several requests on the DHI Old Tomorrowland Month: The TWA Rocket to the Moon essay in regards to the ticket book that supplied the Moonliner ticket. Above is the said rare book, which may have just been a promotional or trial run book, as very few exist. Enjoy.

JULY 13th ~ WALT & LILLIAN'S 30th ANNIVERSARY

Somebody over on the Institute's Facebook page (here) asked about Walt and Lillian's 30th Wedding Anniversary held at Disneyland on July 13, 1955. They had requested photos--which I have somewhere in the Institute's holdings, just have to find them--so in the meantime, thought this invitation would be a nice way to answer their request (and stay involved with our DHI Facebook community). Thanks for the question and interest. Enjoy. 

ASTRO JETS Location in Tomorrowland

Several have asked about the location of the Astro Jets as it relates to the rest of Tomorrowland. This is a nice panoramic view of Old Tomorrowland from the rare 1957 "Disneyland U.S.A." pitch book. Enjoy!
